Voting 3rd party for progressivism is the biggest self own in history. And repeatedly too.

The idea that voting for a third-party candidate is somehow "helping" one of the major party candidates is based on the assumption that the third-party candidate's voters would have otherwise voted for one of the major party candidates.

By not voting for harris in FPTP, you assist trump, the only other viable alternative.

This includes not voting.

Blanket statements don't work. How each state allocates votes to electoral college votes varies, and each states political leaning varies.

There are times when not voting or voting third party effectively has no effect or the opposite effect.

These oversimplified takes are tiring and pathetic.

Get better arguments.
